By Grace Harris, Juliana Steach • April 14, 2025

As Dolly Alderton states, “Nearly everything I know about love, I've learned from my long-term friendships with women.” Nearly everything we have learned about love is from the women who have seen us laugh so hard that we have tears in our eyes and cry so hard that our face gets puffy.

Opinion | Democrats and Republicans are both villains

By Livia LaMarca, Assistant Opinions Editor • April 11, 2025

It's nice to revel in the good for a moment. To feel like our politicians are actually representing our will and making real, tangible change.

When I first read “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins, I was probably about 12. I enjoyed the series on a surface level, as I was caught up in the action and drama, but it didn’t stick with me heavily. As I reread it six years later, I realized the depth and mastery with which Collins crafted the story.

Opinion | The academic’s guide to making time for the people you love

By Julianna Steach, Staff Columnist • April 4, 2025

As a student who spent all of high school — and now college — determined to have a nearly perfect GPA, I had to adjust my mindset of what it looks like to be a dedicated student.

Opinion | Language cannot be legislated

By Livia LaMarca, Assistant Opinions Editor • April 3, 2025
